Overview

Sleeping away from mom and dad…living in what will likely become their ‘summer home’…creating friends that become like family…this is the Camp Christopher experience. Living in a cabin with a group of peers fosters a sense of community, sharing responsibility, and strong friendships.

Each cabin is treated as a mini-community in which the campers are vital members. And as members, they are encouraged to be respectful of one another, honest to one another, and responsible for their commitments. Cabin life also advances social skills as children learn to be a part of the community and actively participate in the inherent give and take of such a setting.

We know that children learn from their peers and role models who surround them. At Camp Christopher, we facilitate this learning in a safe and healthy way. Living together day in and day out provides an immersion experience that cultivates in campers the ability to know one another on a deeper level, to share varied strengths, offer encouragement, lend support, and gain the tremendously valuable experience of living in and taking pride in the work of the group.

Supportive young adult role models who encourage positive values such as sportsmanship, collaboration, kindness, and harmonious co-existence supervise cabins.

Environment

Camp Christopher is a co-ed environment. Our cabins are assigned by sex, and throughout the day, campers remain with the same bunkmates as they follow their schedule. We also have activities for all campers to interact as one large group, including mass/ prayer service and evening activities. These activities allow campers to interact with one another while young adult role models provide oversight to ensure positive and appropriate behavior.

Many children have found great common ground at Camp Christopher, and the shared experience is one which they carry with them through years and distance. Years from now, they will be able to reminisce about their time together at Camp Christopher and the feelings of connectedness and accomplishment they carry with them every day.
